Distributed Event-Triggered Control With Functional Observers for Linear Multi-Agent Systems Consensus

This paper studies the consensus problem of multi-agent systems with general linear dynamics under a undirected graph. By using the event-triggered control and functional observer output feedback control techniques, a distributed event-triggered control strategy is proposed via functional observer-based output feedback. It is shown that the consensus of the controlled multi-agent system can be achieved asymptotically. The feasibility of the proposed control scheme is further verified by excluding Zeno behavior for each agent. An example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
